Cupcakes and Lace

If I were more of a crafty fashionista I would use this title as a blog URL. Actually I couldn’t because I just Googled it and this blog name is already taken, so I will just use it as a title. Lately I have been clothes shopping a lot. By a lot I mean like 3 times. THAT IS A LOT for me. I never shop..I hate it. I hardly find anything I like, and when I do it’s workout gear.

I own ONE pair of jeans, and these are frumpy jeans that I wore to work at TJ’s because leggings just weren’t going to cut it at this job. I kept the jeans in case I ever need to do yard work or something messy. I don’t do jeans, I just don’t. While shopping the other day I found the most adorable pair of skinnies. I bought them, and have worn them like everyday. I also found a dress that brought out my inner grandma and fell in love with the sleeves.

I had to snap a picture to prove that I was in fact born with two X’s. I just love those sleeves! Oh I also wanted to make up for the barbaric photo’s from yesterdays post! HA!

More importantly, I am officially addicted and made a late night trip to The Bearded Lady. I went with the idea of getting ONE cupcake. I should have known, what a joke..ONE?!

So I left with two cupcakes and a brownie. I wasn’t alone though, never do stealth operations alone.

You look like the perfect vegan barbie, with a tattoo!! Um shopping is the vain of my existence, unless I’m at a grocery store. The boy has already asked me numerous times to go Christmas shopping with him and I am all like “meh, I got everything on Amazon already!” And he is all “Well would you come with me to help” and I’m all like “Why do you continue to ask me to shop, you just get mad I don’t look like I’m having a blast shopping”

Thing is, I used to LOVE to shop. Loved it. Now – ugh. I think for me it’s because I’m at that weird and awkward crossroads between Anthropologie/Urban Outfitters/The Gap and Chicos. I refuse to wear anything Chico, yet I don’t want to look like that 46 year old who refuses to acknowledge that she’s not 16 any more. Luckily for me, most of my time is spent on the ranch where looking “nice” is just stupid. Hence, Carhartts jeans, t-shirts from past races and a cheap fleece from Old Navy.

My mom loves Chico’s, but she is almost 60! I think you could totally pull of The Gap and Anthropologie. I can’t even pull off some of the stuff at Urban Outfitters, although I did have a shirt that I wore maybe twice that said, “vegetarians taste better.” yeah…thank god I gave that away.

Your ranch attire sounds WAY better than any of these places anyway! I live in old race shirts and cheap shit.

I’m sorry, what were you saying? Those cupcakes kind of made my mind go blank… Holy.wow I want that brownie. ANYWHO! I used to hate shopping for clothes, but I think I’ve gotten better over the years. I’m not the biggest fan of jeans, but I have to admit that a nice pair that fits you just right (alongside a pair of gorgeous heels) is definitely a confidence booster.

I hate shopping. I get so frustrated when nothing fits me! I wear jeans all the time but I’ve had them for so long, a lot of them are getting really worn out. That’s the problem with being an athlete, I guess. But I would definitely go shopping if it meant rewarding myself with cupcakes after 😉

whoa those cupcakes! they are so pretty. i do like shopping, but i am broke at the moment. i was just thinking how long it’s been since i have shopped! you’re right, that would make a cute blog name! have a great day 🙂

I hate the act of shopping, but I love buying new clothes. If that makes sense? I hate trying to find things and trying a bunch of stuff on, but getting new clothes is awesome. I love that dress!!! Super cute.

OMG, you are super cute in that lacy number! I can go thru phases with shopping, but I do usually end up with workout clothes and leggings and zip up hoodies. Recently I bought a pair of boots—that was a big deal, I’m awful at footwear (outside of flops).

I am loving the lace! Very cute! I generally enjoy shopping except when I am looking for something that I specifically need because then it always seems to take forever to find (aka nothing fits right, I can’t find what I’m looking for). I prefer stress free shopping!

OMFG!!!!!! I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SHOPPING! HATE IT TIMES 1 million! My manager HATES ME because I hate clothes and fashion. I wear Lululemon everywhere, even to black-tie events! Suck it… It’s my “brand” and I am going to rock the shit outta it! LOL!!!!! Buh ugh, I am being FORCED to go shopping for clothes (for myself) this weekend, wish my yoga pant loving ass luck!! However, I LOVEEEE food shopping. Leave me at a Whole Foods at 9 am, and I will still be entertained if you came to pick me up at 6pm! Well I’d also have a crazy stomach ache because I would be eating allllll day long! LOL! Well, I am off to go click “confirm” in my AMAZON cart – XMAS presents for the family, DONE! LOL!!!

omg that dress! you are so cute. let’s shop together! right now.
i also liked the two x’s comment because I just took my Biology final and I understand that joke. Kind of sad that I probably wouldn’t have before this semester 😛

That dress looks super cute on you, Britt! I love buying new clothes but not really a fan of the actual process of shopping…and in winter, that dread just multiplies! The idea of taking off/putting back on so many layers is enough to keep me away!
